Labs
Run a lab’s studies, money and stimuli in one shared workspace.
A lab is a workspace a PI runs for their group. Studies made in it belong to the lab, so the work stays when a student moves on. The lab has one balance, a shared stimulus library, and a say over what launches.

Switch workspace
The switcher moves you between Personal, your labs and any classrooms. Projects and Finance show what belongs to the workspace you are in.
Studies
- Create a lab study with
+ New lab study, or move one of your personal studies into the lab from its project page. - The PI decides in Settings whether members need approval to launch. If they do, a member clicks
Request approval, and the study opens to participants once the PI or a lab manager approves it. - A study that changes after approval (consent, protocol, payment, eligibility, flow or code) needs approving again.
- Deleted lab studies can be restored for a while from Recently deleted.
Money
- The lab has its own balance in the lab’s Finance tab. The PI adds money; studies are funded from it.
- Each member has a monthly cap. Funding within the cap goes straight through; anything over it becomes a request for the lab’s admins. The default cap is zero, so every funding is a request until the PI raises it.
- Unused money from a lab study goes back to the lab’s balance.
- Lab admins can also buy AI credit for the lab and give it to members.
Shared library
The Library tab holds stimuli the whole lab can reuse. Upload several files at once, sort them into folders, and add many to a study in one go.
